Image/audio playback device of mobile communication terminal
View Patent ↗In an image/audio playback technology in a mobile communication terminal, a single image is divided into two halves, i.e., left-half and right-half images, which are displayed on two mobile communication terminals, respectively. In addition, two mobile communication terminals can play left-side and right-side audio data, respectively, which compose stereo audio data, according to the relative locations of the two mobile communication terminals.
1. An image playback device of a mobile communication terminal, comprising:
a control unit to control a signal for recognizing a relative location of the mobile communication terminal in relation to another terminal;
a codec unit to decode image data;
an image dividing unit to divide the decoded image data into a plurality of divided image data, and to transmit a first one of the plurality of divided image data to a display unit and to transmit a second one of the plurality of divided image data to a communication interface unit according to the relative location;
the display unit to display the first one of the plurality of divided image data; and
the communication interface unit to transmit the second one of the plurality of divided image data to the other terminal.
2. The image playback device of claim 1 , wherein the decoded image data is a singular image.
3. The image playback device of claim 1 , wherein the other terminal and the mobile communication terminal have a same device type.
4. The image playback device of claim 1 , wherein the first one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data if the relative location of the mobile communication terminal is to the left of the other terminal, and
the first one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data and the second one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data if the relative location of the mobile communication terminal is to the right of the other terminal.
5. The image playback device of claim 1 , wherein the display unit displays the first one of the plurality of divided image data when the second one of the plurality of divided image data is displayed on the other terminal.
6. An image playback device of a mobile communication terminal, comprising:
a control unit to control a signal for recognizing a relative location of the mobile communication terminal in relation to another terminal;
a communication interface unit to receive one of a plurality of divided image data from another communication interface unit in the other terminal, the one of the plurality of divided image data being determined according to the relative location; and
a display unit to display the received one of the plurality of divided image data.
7. The image playback device of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of divided image data is sourced from a singular image.
8. The image playback device of claim 6 , wherein the other terminal and the mobile communication terminal have a same device type.
9. The image playback device of claim 6 , wherein the received one of the plurality of divided image data is left-side image data and another one of the plurality of divided image data displayed in the other terminal is right-side image data if the relative location of the mobile communication terminal is to the left of the other terminal, and
the received one of the plurality of divided image data is right-side image data and the other one of the plurality of divided image data displayed in the other terminal is left-side image data if the relative location of the mobile communication terminal is to the right of the other terminal.
10. The image playback device of claim 6 , wherein the display unit displays the received one of the plurality of divided image data when another one of the plurality of divided image data is displayed on the other terminal.
11. A method for displaying divided image data, the method comprising:
recognizing a relative location of a main terminal in relation to a sub terminal;
dividing image data into a plurality of divided image data;
transmitting a first one of the plurality of the divided image data to the sub terminal according to the relative location; and
displaying a second one of the plurality of the divided image data in a display unit of the main terminal.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the image data is decoded image data.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
resizing a pixel size of the decoded image data.
14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
resizing a pixel size of the first one of the plurality of the divided image data.
15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
resizing a pixel size of the second one of the plurality of the divided image data.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the main terminal is physically connected to the sub terminal.
17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
displaying the first one of the plurality of the divided image data in a display unit of the sub terminal.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first one of the plurality of the divided image data is left-side image data and the second one of the plurality of the divided image data is right-side image data if the relative location of the sub terminal is to the left of the main terminal, and
the first one of the plurality of the divided image data is right-side image data and the second one of the plurality of the divided image data is left-side image data if the relative location of the sub terminal is to the right of the main terminal.
19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second one of the plurality of the divided image data is displayed in the display unit of the main terminal when the first one of the plurality of the divided image data is displayed in a display unit of the sub terminal.
